TOPICS THAT INTEREST ME: CURRICULUM CONNECTION:

testing pulse rates after listening to various types of music- connects from pulse rates

testing results in fishing trout in shallow vs deep water, and testing lures, mealworms, night crawlers, and powewr bait. over a period of time

MY TESTABLE QUESTION: What gun does the most damage from 50 yards away? .410 shotgun, .22 riffle, .308 rifle, 10 gauge shotgun, muzzleloader


INDEPENDENT VARIABLE: the different guns used.

DEPENDENT VARIABLE: distance-50 yards



2. Investigate the Information:


NOTES/FACTS:
The bullets in the different guns have different minerasls.






NOW THAT I'VE DONE SOME RESEARCH, I PREDICT THE ANSWER TO MY QUESTION WILL BE:




3. Plan A Procedure:
To conduct this experiment, i will go to the woods and measure 50 yards.
then i will set up 5 layers of wooden sheets.
After that, i will take the guns out (with my dad obviously), and shoot at the target. after every gun, i will check the target and record how many layer of wood the gun penitrated.





4. What I'll Need:

I have these: I need to locate these:
i basically will have all the necessary items at home.







5. Keeping Track - Proposed Data Sheet



6. Analyze It All


Here's a Graph:



The data shows that . . . .

Therefore, I conclude that . . . .

But was my work valid? . . .
